Sandra Nowicki of Pegasus Studios has 16 pieces of 2-dimensional art in a solo exhibit at the Salem Community Library. The exhibit includes paintings in watercolor and gouache tempera, color drawings, pencil drawings and collages using artist-made paper.
When I asked Sandy where her inspiration comes from she replied,
“I am always responding to colors and forms in nature, images at art exhibits, and art history. Ideas and images gel in my mind from many sources and I interpret all this and it emerges as my own original collages, paintings and drawings. I create art as an expression of my inner energy, as symbols of my perception of the world. I can capture feelings and make them into art forms. I love the way collage, painting or drawing allows me to share all this beauty with other people.”

John Conlon and I first met in an abstract class at Lemon Street. At first John seemed a very shy person. Slowly his sparkle in the eye New England, dry wit surfaced. John’s sensitive, insightful comments of artists’ work, talent and personality integrated very easily into the gallery. There’s an appreciation for his thoughts and direction. His work exhibits these personal characteristics.
Where are you from originally?
I was born in Hartford Connecticut and lived most of my youth in New England. I graduated high school in Providence Rhode Island.
What brought you to Kenosha?
A smokey gray 2004 Honda Civic with mud guards and a sunroof, actually, I started to look for a place that taught encaustic painting and found out about Lemon Street.

Without lines, there is no direction. Without color, there is no emotion. Composition breathes life.

by Franco Tarsitano
Melody Bigalke admits she’s a scrapper and a survivor. This feisty, crafty lady is a multi-disciplined artist that brings something unique to whatever medium she works. Ceramics, print-making, jewelry but her most distinctive art are her gourds.
Melody was a young transplant from Racine to Kenosha. A graduate of Bradford, and art from UWM, she has spent 24 years at HR Block where she enjoys working with people and says that every tax return is different and enjoys that challenge. Melody, along with her two very talented and artistic daughters Lisa and Becky, contribute greatly to the Kenosha art scene and community. Together they organized a Christmas show this past year at the Southport Beach House.
